«En la Patagonia» is Bruce Chatwin's travelogue, in a Spanish-language edition of 230 pages.
The journey to Patagonia —that southernmost tip shared by Argentina and Chile— becomes an exploration of its history, its geography and its people. Chatwin weaves personal anecdotes with portraits of unusual characters and echoes of historical figures, while the desolate and evocative landscape raises questions about identity, memory and the search for meaning in remote places.
Charles Bruce Chatwin was an English travel writer, novelist and journalist. His first book, In Patagonia (1977), established Chatwin as a travel writer, although he considered himself instead a storyteller, interested in bringing to light unusual tales. He won the James Tait Black Memorial Prize for his novel On the Black Hill (1982), while his novel Utz (1988) was shortlisted for the Booker Prize. In 2008 The Times ranked Chatwin as number 46 on their list of "50 Greatest British Writers Since 1945".
